AmmolandYet, predictably, the cultural Marxists, following Rahm Emanuel’s
dictum that you never let a crisis go to waste, descended like locusts.

As Roof had filmed himself flaunting a Confederate battle flag, the
cry went out to tear that flag down from the war memorial in Columbia,
South Carolina, and remove its vile presence everywhere in America.

Sally Jenkins of The Washington Post appeared front and center on its op-ed page with this call to healing:

“The Confederate battle flag is an American swastika, the
relic of traitors and totalitarians, symbol of a brutal regime, not a
republic. The Confederacy was treason in defense of a still deeper crime
against humanity: slavery.”

But if Jenkins’ hate-filled screed is right, if the Confederacy was
Nazi Germany on American soil, then not only the battle flag must go.

The Confederate War Memorial on the capitol grounds honors the scores
of thousands of South Carolinians who died in the lost cause. And if
that was a cause of traitors and totalitarians and about nothing but
slavery, ought not that memorial be dynamited?

Even as ISIS is desecrating tombs in Palmyra, Syria, the cultural purge of the South has begun.Rep. Steve Cohen wants the name of legendary cavalryman Nathan
Bedford Forrest removed from Forrest Park in Memphis and his bust gone
from the capitol; Sen. Mitch McConnell wants the statue of Confederate
President Jefferson Davis removed from the Kentucky capitol.

Governors are rushing to remove replicas of the battle flag from
license plates, with Virginia’s Democrat Terry McAuliffe the most vocal.
Will McAuliffe also demand that the statues of Robert E. Lee and
Stonewall Jackson be removed from Monument Avenue in Richmond?

“Take Down a Symbol of Hatred,” rails The New York Times.

But the battle flag is not so much a symbol of hatred as it is an
object of hatred, a target of hatred. It evokes a hatred of the visceral
sort that we see manifest in Jenkins’ equating of the South of
Washington, Jefferson, John Calhoun, Andrew Jackson and Lee with
Hitler’s Third Reich.

What the flag symbolizes for the millions who revere, cherish or love
it, however, is the heroism of those who fought and died under it. That
flag flew over battlefields, not over slave quarters.

Hence, who are the real haters here?

Can the Times really believe that all those coffee cups and baseball
caps and T-shirts and sweaters and flag decals on car and truck bumpers
are declarations that the owners hate black people? Does the Times
believe Southern folks fly the battle flag in their yards because they
want slavery back?

But Obama overlooks Norway, where Anders Behring Breivik used a gun to
kill 67 people and wound 110 others. Still others were killed by bombs
that Breivik detonated. Three of the six worst K-12 school shootings
ever have occurred in Europe. Germany saw two of these — one in 2002 at
Erfurt and another in 2009 at Winnenden. The combined death toll was 34.
France and Belgium have both faced multiple terrorist attacks over the
past year.

Two people have been charged in the accidental shooting of a 13 year old Liberty Township boy.Keyoina Owens, 33, and Joseph Greer, 32, have been charged in the matter with receiving stolen property and child endangering.

Liberty
Police Chief Rich Tisone says the two suspects are the lease holders of
the East Montrose home where the teen was shot on June 6.

The teen suffered a gun shot wound to the foot while home alone with three other boys, all between the ages of 11 and 14.

One
of boys called 9-1-1 saying the victim's foot was bleeding badly.
Meanwhile, another boy can be overheard on the call accusing the group
of playing with the gun.

After arriving on the scene, Liberty
police found a fully-loaded 40 caliber Glock which authorities believe
may have been stolen in Michigan.

No charges were filed against
the boys; however, charges were filed for Owens and Greer, lease-owners
of the Liberty house and possessors of the stolen gun in question.

The charge of receiving stolen property is a felony, and the charge of child endangering is a misdemeanor.

President Barack Obama has abandoned his two-year push to consolidate
his controversial targeted killing program under Pentagon control and
has spent the past several months finalizing a new plan that would give
the Defense Department and the CIA joint control of drone strikes,
sources tell The Huffington Post.

Two years ago, Obama promised during a speech
at the National Defense University that he would move the CIA's
controversial drone program out of the covert shadows and into the
relative sunlight of the Defense Department. Drone critics greeted the announcement with cautious optimism, hoping that a Pentagon-run drone program would be more transparent and allow more oversight of targeted killings.

The
CIA and its allies on the congressional intelligence committees
resisted Obama's proposal. But until recently, the Obama administration
was still publicly pushing forward, saying as recently as April that it wanted to take the trigger out of the CIA's hands for good.

Behind closed doors, all of that has changed. On June 10, administration
officials gave a classified briefing to lawmakers laying out a
blueprint for a new transition plan that would involve a dual command
structure. That blueprint is all but complete, U.S. officials briefed on
it said.

Christopher Yarbrough, 25, is charged with domestic violence in a
separate incident, DeKalb County Sheriff Jimmy Harris said.
Yarbrought has not been charged in the shooting, though the
investigation is ongoing.

Deputies were called out around 12:30 a.m. Tuesday to a home in the
1700 block of Main Street in Shiloh, where a shooting had taken place.
When they arrived, they found a 25-year-old Fort Payne man suffering
from a gunshot wound.

He was taken to Huntsville Hospital, where he was listed in stable condition later Tuesday. Harris said investigators found Yarbrough hiding in a wooded area
near the crime scene and took him into custody. During questioning, it
was established that the shooting was a likely accident.

Alcohol and marijuana are believed to have played a role in the shooting, Harris said.

The New York TimesGov. Nikki R. Haley called on Monday for South Carolina to do what just a
week ago seemed politically impossible — remove the Confederate battle
flag from its perch in front of the State House building here. She
argued that a symbol long revered by many Southerners was for some,
after the church massacre in Charleston, a “deeply offensive symbol of a
brutally offensive past.”

Nearly every mass shooting incident in the last twenty years, and
multiple other instances of suicide and isolated shootings all share one
thing in common, and its not the weapons used.

The overwhelming evidence points to the signal largest common factor
in all of these incidents is the fact that all of the perpetrators were
either actively taking powerful psychotropic drugs or had been at some point in the immediate past before they committed their crimes.

Distraught bride Anna Goldschmidt was set
to have a million-dollar wedding reception with groom Elan Stratiyevsky
at the Waldorf Astoria hotel in Manhattan when a guest accidentally fired a gun
injuring another female guest. As a result of the shooting, the hotel
decided to cancel the reception as police were still searching for the
gun. Upon learning about the cancellation the bride let out a
“blood-curling” scream and has now vowed to sue the hotel for “millions”
after her big day was ruined.

“We are planning to sue the
Waldorf for the costs of the wedding and the emotional harm suffered by
the bride and groom, whose dream wedding was destroyed for no reason
whatsoever by Waldorf personnel.”

It seems the bride and groom aren’t just planning to sue the hotel,
they are also going after the man responsible for all the chaos.

“A suit is also contemplated against the shooter, whose recklessness created the havoc.”

What do you think about the lawsuit
against the Waldorf Astoria? Did they cancel the wedding reception for
“no reason whatsoever” or was the shooting due cause for the
cancellation? What about the lawsuit against the shooter? Should he be
held liable for the “emotional harm” the couple suffered from having
their million-dollar reception cancelled?

A shooting at a block party on the city's west side Saturday night left nine injured and one dead, according to police.

The shooting happened on a basketball court during a children's party near Dexter and Tuxedo just before 9 p.m., police said.

"It's a miracle that not one kid is shot," Assistant Police Chief Steve Dolunt told Fox2.

"I
don't know what the hell these people were thinking with this many kids
out here. I'm livid. There's no excuse for this," Dolunt said.

Dolunt said a 20-year-old man was killed. He was not being identified while relatives were informed.Another
man was critically injured and eight others, five men and three women,
were listed as seriously injured. The victims ranged in age from 21 to
46, he said.

Dolunt said the shooting happened at a neighborhood
party that included a barbecue attended by families with some small
children in strollers.
